MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has advised motorists with expiring licenses this month to renew their driver’s permit before April 30.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza said motorists should comply with the renewal schedules issued by the agency to expedite the release of plastic card licenses.
Driver’s licenses that expired from April 1 to Aug. 31, 2023 and expiring from April 1 to 30, 2024 should be renewed from April 15 to 30 to avoid fines, according to the LTO.
Motorists with expiring licenses from Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023, and from May 1 to 31, 2024 are scheduled for renewal in May.
Driver’s licenses that expired from Jan. 1 to March 31, and June 1 to 30 will be scheduled for renewal in June.
The LTO will start the issuance of plastic card licenses on April 15, Mendoza said.
At least one million plastic cards have been delivered to the LTO after the Court of Appeals lifted the preliminary injunction issued by a Quezon City court last month.
